Alicia Keys : Fallin

Piano tinkles, drum machine coughs like an athsmatic whippet and Alicia strokes your spine with ice cubes and spatters your spotty back with hot candle wax...

Well this spanks a million monkeys. Vigorously. Piano tinkles, drum machine coughs like an athsmatic whippet and Alicia strokes your spine with ice cubes and spatters your spotty back with hot candle wax.
Metaphorically speaking. Massive, massive massive hit. And at least three Brit all-girl bands (possibly including Atomic Kitten) will have ripped this off shamelessly by the end of the year. If they haven't already. The tinkers.
